The device enables multitasking with three apps side-by-side on its 10-inch display and can organize up to five apps in each DeX workspace across four workspaces, delivering desktop-like productivity without an external monitor.

Key specs include a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, ample RAM and storage (TriFold offering 16GB RAM with up to 1TB storage, Fold 7 variants up to 16GB/1TB), and Android 16 with One UI 8.

Samsung notes the TriFold could revolutionize tablets by merging phone and tablet features, but cautions about a steep price near $3,000 and fragility, including limited display durability and a special 50% discount repair program for screens.

Unlike the Fold 7, the TriFold uses a traditional tablet-like shape with a 16:11 aspect ratio, boosting content consumption and multi-app use, and its DeX mode operates standalone in this tablet-like form.

In addition to standalone DeX, the TriFold offers broader multi-window capabilities that make it feel more like a computer when in DeX mode compared with the Fold 7.

The TriFold is slated to launch in the US this quarter, with industry chatter suggesting potential for more durable tri-fold designs if it performs well, and rumors hint at an upcoming Galaxy S26 series announcement.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold in Korea, a triple-foldable Android phone that unfolds into a 10-inch tablet and was showcased at CES 2026 ahead of a US launch.
